Routine

[MummyIwanabe]

My little man is 5 weeks and I'm keen to establish a routine when suitable. When is the best time to start with a routine and what is everyone else doing? I have in my mind maybe from 6 weeks but when can a baby self soothe etc?

i would love to know the answer to this aswell! i was trying to get Francesca into a slight routine but totally failed as she's still very young

Both of your babies are wayyy too little for a routine without putting them through considerable torture of very long bouts of crying. By 3-4 months some babies have settled in somewhat of a routine, and longer for others.

Rhys started to settle into his own routine around 2/2.5 months of age though it can still vary widely as to when he'll eat and how much throughout the day

We have a bedtime routine in place but that's mostly because I have an older daughter who we have to get to bed and it's easier to bathe them at the same time (and he's generally exhausted by her so is ready to go down after we put her to bed ).

In the last week or so he's started to get into a decent morning nap routine but afternoons are still really hit or miss

My lo has been in a routine since 2 months. Unless he demands a feed.
